Before Niu Dusi could react, Yang Youji rushed over first, smashing his neck with his command knife and scabbard. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Niu Dusi didn't say a word "Do you want to rebel" before he could say it, and he fainted to the ground.

The defenders of the city gate were in a commotion, raised their spears and swords in their hands, and looked nervously at the army outside the gate, but they did not dare to make the first move. They never thought that Nanjing City would encounter officers and soldiers who dared to break through, and they didn't know what to do at all.

But Joan soon taught them what to do.

Yang Youji took the lead with the soldiers of the Guards Battalion, raised the butt of his rifle and smashed his head and face at the defenders, shouting while smashing: "Put down your weapons and squat down with your head in your hands!" ”

The defenders were smashed to pieces, and the timid ones immediately dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands - the leaders had all stopped cooking, and they still resisted, did they really fight with these big-headed soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield? Besides, these people are fierce and vicious, and they may not be able to fight if they want to fight hard.

There are also people who are used to being arrogant on weekdays who want to resist, and while swinging a knife and slashing over, they scold: "You have eaten the gall of the bear's heart and the leopard, and dare to come to Nanjing City to spread wild?" This is the ...... at the feet of the Son of Heaven."

The Guards Battalion soldier easily blocked his slash, and with a thrust movement, stabbed him in half.

The entire Bei'anmen Gate was instantly quiet, and the rest of the defenders who were about to move were dumbfounded when they saw this, are these big-headed soldiers really moving?

The Joan navy soldiers did not give them time for ideological struggle, and a large group of soldiers rushed up, smashed them with the butts of their guns, kicked them all, and knocked them all to their stomachs. With the lessons of the past, the defenders did not dare to resist, and no matter how much the opponent's fists and feet were added, they did not dare to put a fart.

After all the defenders at the city gate were disarmed and tied up, Xia Nan walked into the city with his head held high. As he walked past the soldier who had been stabbed by a bayonet and had not yet lost his breath, he gently stretched out his foot and kicked it, and said with a smile: "You are only half right, we did eat the gall of the leopard one by one." But the second half of the sentence is wrong, you are not at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Chongzhen is 108,000 miles away, you are just a group of cowards who pull the tiger skin and pull the banner......"

The army followed Xia Nan into the city. There were still defenders on the tower, but after witnessing what had happened at the gates, the only thing they could do was to watch the thousands of people go.

After all, Nanjing is the capital of Liudu, with a relatively complete city defense mechanism, there was an accident in Bei'anmen, and the rout immediately warned the garrison camp at the North Gate before the Qiong Navy entered the city, and then reported it layer by layer, and finally alarmed the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War of the Five Armies.

A heavily armed army broke through the city defense of Bei'anmen and swaggered into the city, and the intention was unknown, which made the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Yamen of the Military Department explode.

After hearing the news, Wang Xuan, the secretary of the military department, immediately stopped all the affairs of the yamen, and recalled all the officials from the squire to the junior officials, whether they were on duty or on sick leave, to deal with the matter.

When the preliminary information came back, Wang Xun was temporarily relieved to learn that this unit was requisitioned from Guangdong by the Beijing Military Department to fight the Liukou, and because it was about to enter the city and was stopped by the defenders, there was a conflict. However, his emotions soon turned into anger: since he was an officer and soldier, he didn't even understand the minimum rules, and he forcibly broke into the city of Nanjing, what is the difference between this and a thief?

He immediately ordered: "Order the Beimen garrison battalion to gather men and horses to block Bei'anmen, and the Chihe battalion and the shift guard army will immediately rush to Beicheng to intercept this army of soldiers and horses, and no matter what, they can't be allowed to approach the noon gate!" Nanjing, like Beijing, also has the "Forbidden City" and the "Noon Gate", the Noon Gate is the main gate of the palace, and if foreign troops are allowed to approach or even desecrate the palace, it will be a political event -- even if there are no imperial relatives and nobles in the Forbidden City of Nanjing now -- no one can afford this responsibility.

After the soldiers on duty received the order and left, Wang Xun sent people to rush to the Wei Mansion and the Eunuch's Mansion respectively to inform the two bigwigs. According to the division of labor, the military department was in charge of the defense of the entire Nanzhili, and although he was in a hurry to follow the power, as the secretary of the military department, he had the right to mobilize the guards and some of the Beijing battalion troops in shifts in the city, but the military deployment in Nanjing must be agreed by these two people, so as not to attack himself afterwards and monopolize power.

After the arrangements were made, Wang Xun took a few waiters to the front line in person. The entry of the imperial court's own army was an unprecedented incident since the founding of Nanjing, and if it was not handled properly, it would become the laughing stock of the people of the world, and at worst it might be dismissed from office. Fortunately, there is no bad news of smashing and looting, which shows that the other party can still maintain his sanity for the time being, and things are still under control.

At this time, the summer Nanzheng led the army slowly through the wide street and walked south. Along the way, it was originally prosperous and lively, but suddenly an army of several thousand people entered the city, and the pedestrians and vendors on the street thought that the thieves had entered the city, and they were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

Xia Nan spread his hands innocently, "I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." I had entered the city well, and everyone was safe, but I was forced to break into the city, which frightened the people, which was not what I wanted! ”

Sima De asked in a low voice: "General, it's not a way for us to wander around like this, where are we going?" ”

"That's a problem." Xia Nan thought about it seriously and snapped his fingers: "Yes, it seems that the highest military institution in Nanjing City is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, right?" We were dispatched by the Beijing Military Department to fight in Nanzhili, and when we entered the city, we were wronged, so we had to ask the officials for an explanation, so let's go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies first! You are a native of Nanjing, you should know how to walk and lead the way in front. ”

So the army went straight to the royal road where the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was located. The royal road is near the Hongwu Gate outside the palace city, it is a wide street that runs through the north and south, the folk call it "Thousand Steps Corridor", the east side of the royal road, there are the yamen such as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry (only the Ministry of Punishment is outside the Taiping Gate), and the west is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

When they arrived at the square outside the Hongwu Gate, there were rumbling footsteps in the east, west, and south streets, and a large number of soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets appeared, forming a formation, blocking the way forward. A general shouted from afar: "Ahead are the six yamen and the Forbidden City, no one is allowed to trespass, and those who come will stop!" ”

Seeing that the comers were not good, the Joan Navy also lined up to respond. The Guards Battalion surrounded Xia Nan and others in the middle, and the four infantry battalions of the Second Regiment formed a dense phalanx to protect the four corners of the Guards Battalion in the east, west, north and south.

Thousands of people were squeezed into the Hongwumen Square, and both sides showed their weapons, swords rattling, and a tense atmosphere filled the air, as if a conflict would break out at any moment.
